Chickpeas and warm spices simmered with tomatoes, coconut milk, and peppers until fragrant and tender. It’s perfect for Meatless Monday and will be a family favorite all year long!
Why We Love This Veggie Curry Dish
This easy recipe is cooked in only one pot, which means fewer dishes! Pair Chickpea Curry with Indian naan bread and some basmati rice, and have on the table in less than 30 minutes for a full meal. Leftovers (if there are any!) are especially flavorful! The flavors have more time to mix together with the chickpeas, giving a bigger kick of flavor!
Ingredients & Variations
CHICKPEAS Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans and I used canned to make this extra fast. If you’d like to use dried, soak them and cook them before starting with this recipe. COCONUT MILK Any type will work, but full-fat coconut milk will give the best flavor and texture. Be sure you’re not using coconut cream which is heavily sweetened. TOMATOES Canned, crushed tomatoes really add to the overall taste of this dish. Canned whole tomatoes or even tomato sauce will work too! PEPPERS Bell peppers and jalapenos add some color to this chickpea curry! Use yellow, red, green or orange peppers, whatever you have on hand. SPICES Curry, garlic, and ginger blend together to create the perfect mixture! For a full meal, garnish with cilantro and serve over Basmati rice. Warm Naan bread from the oven completes this dish!

Tips for Success
Drain your chickpeas well and rinse to remove extra sodium. Curry can vary greatly by brand or region and it doesn’t matter which you use in this recipe, just find one you like and use that! Curry powder should have a fairly a strong scent and a bright yellow color. Choose coconut milk that is full-fat for the best flavor since the light variety won’t deliver the buttery texture you’re looking for. Add more jalapenos or a dash of cayenne for a spicy version. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
